and eastern elevator companies. Millers
were picking I'D the best samples of milling

unsold at the close. Prices ranged above
those of the day before, and buyers were
forced to pay from 12@s4c more for wheat.
Receipts were $50 cars for the day, with 20
cars shipped out, Duluth is reported 2l9

Flour-Business was run i'll the late groove
to-day. The feeling was fairly steady con-
sidefing the late decline in wheat. 1t is evil
dent. however, that with large production
prices would naturally weaken. AS it is,
there is some dullness and new sales hardly
keep pace with even the small output and
while -four is pretty well sold up now, it will
not be long until there Will have TO be i'll
creased sales or accumulations. To prevent
the latter prices will have to be scored down
10 a point that wilf1 move The stocks. We
have had the December bulge. and while the
majority. perhaps, are bullish there seems to
be no coed foundation upon which to rest
that opinion until the holidays at least, are
well over.
Bran and Shorts-Owing to the declines in
other coarse feed stuff these articles were not
so stiff to-day. Sales, however, have been
made to run some weeks into the future SO
